Abstract

Migratory movements have been considered a problem in the world; nevertheless, with COVID-19, the fear directed towards the search for a culprit aggravated the negative categorization of migrants. This categorization is nurtured and expressed through the discourse surrounding the virus, accentuating violence towards the migrant population. Therefore, through a hermeneutic-documentary qualitative research, with an interpretative and synthetic level, we analyze those discourses that generate violence, ignorance and/or disinterest towards migrants - referred to from their vulnerability as "the Other" -, in order to make an ethical approach based on hospitality. It has been concluded that migrants are not reduced to a discursive figure, and that an ethics towards "the Other" is urgently needed to reevaluate discourses and practices in relation to the migrant population
